Mangaluru: Right-Wing Members Protest Outside A Catholic School For Insulting Hindu Gods

After a parent lodged a police complaint against a school in Mangaluru for insulting Hindu gods, poisoning the minds of students against Hindu religion, and conspiring to convert students of other religions to Christianity". Soon after the matter came to light, students and some members of right-wing groups on Monday protested outside a convent school in Mangaluru.

Accusing a teacher of the Catholic girls' school, a parent said Hindu gods are being insulted and students are pushed to adopt Christianity.

Reports said Catholic school teachers were also used to insult and share false information about Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the 2002 Godhara riots.

BJP MLA from Dakshin Kannada Vedavyas Kamath, along with his supporters raised a flag against the Christian school and demanded to shut the school. Reports said the BJP leader also had a heated argument with the school administration.

"If you are going to support that kind of teacher, what has happened to your moral compass? Are you going to convert the entire society and our Hindus? If not, why are you supporting that teacher? Throw them out. Why are you keeping that teacher?" BJP MLA said while demanding justice for the victim students.

He questioned the school administration stating: "What did the teacher say about Lord Ram? If you can't respect a public representative, what will you do with kids? The Jesus that you worship wishes for peace. Your sisters are asking our Hindu kids to not keep tilak, flowers, anklets, and kumkum. They have said pouring milk on Ram is waste. Why are you talking like this? If someone insults our belief, we won't keep quiet. If someone insults your belief, you won't keep quiet."
